Hey Lady, how long from when you sent the email did you get that seaweed/fish fertilizer. It's been a week today since "Ann" told me she would send it. Should I send an email or just let it be?

I don't even remember to be honest. I wasn't expecting anything and never got a reply, it just showed up one day in the mail. I guess it doesn't hurt to write them. They'll either say it's in the mail or that they forgot and will send it soon lol.

Watered today with the blossom booster today. I think you'll notice something different about the plants :) Hairs everywhere! Tried to take shots of the hairiest nodes, some came out, some didn't. I need to find my point and shoot, it has a smaller aperture and zoom which is better for macro pics. Nikon has a 18mm lens while the Olympus has a 4.7mm. The last 3 bud pics are of the Northern Lights. Just a bit behind the BM, but it's starting to kick off as well.

Anyway, watered with a good bit of run off. 3/4 gallon between two 1 gallon pots. I upped the dose on the fertilizer to 3/4. I was going to go for 1/2 again, but I noticed a few leaves yellowing on my Blue Mammoth. Well one leaflet had a bit of yellowing at the tip and I found another 2-3 dried up dead leaves on the bottom of the plant, pulled those of course. I'll probably do the urine watering again if my seaweed-fish fertilizer doesn't get here by the next watering. The pic of the yellowing leaf is actually one of leaves on the Northern Lights, that leaf was already yellow though, just a bit more so now. Also found one leaflet on the NL just a bit yellow too, as well as 1-2 dead leaves on the bottom. The idea that it's my ph doesn't seem too far fetched, but I did have all the symptoms of the N deficiency last time.

Not LSTing anymore as vertical growth has pretty much stopped completely. If you go by that auto's life cycle thread I linked awhile ago I'm really only a week behind. This is week 8 and the guy says bud production usually starts at week 7. I'm still going to keep it at 12/12 though just in case. At this point I'm just hoping to be done before August 10, which is when I move.

Oh I was googling my NLxBB and I found this website: http://www.cannabis-seeds.co.uk/, pretty cool as it gives a bit more detailed info compared to attitude seed's info. Assuming the info is correct it says my Blue Mammoth is 10-12% thc. Also says the Pineapple Chunk and Critical Kush I got for freebies are 25%, damn! Nothing on the NLxBB, but I would imagine 15%+ easy, considering it's Northern Lights.

Just got the fish fertilizer(2-4-1). Wasn't the fish/seaweed(2-3-1) like I requested, but oh well free stuff. It's a 4oz container and the instructions say use 1oz per gallon. If I use it once a week like Lady J, that's 4 applications. Surprised that it's used for nitrogen considering it's so high in P. I'll be using it with my next watering(sunday assuming temps don't get too outrageous).

Don't use one ounce per gallon!! It's too much...that info isn't tailored for cannabis. I would say to start with two cap fulls and slowly increase. 2-4-1 is still good, nice phosphorus for the plant at least. Am making a tea with it cuz I think I have a phos deficiency.

Use that stuff by itself and never with the blossom booster, like lady said use less then half what it recommends, then from there build up.
those numbers are really good, especially for veg/flowering transition.
Also would like to add that a ph is something u should invest in, especially when it comes down to understanding how plants grow, and it's kinda fun just checking random waters ph....
What kind of medium are u using?

Checked the weight of the pots and they were pretty dry so I decided to water today. Used 2 tablespoons(couldn't find something in ounces) or 1oz of the fish fertilizer, gonna have to say it stinks like fish, what a surprise ;-) It's like 91 today...Shit sucks...High tomorrow is supposed to be 96. So far the temp has been steady at 86F, lights off usually puts me 10 degrees lower than what the high is. Didn't really feel like doing a photo shoot today so I just took a pic of one of the buds on the Blue mammoth, one of the Northern Lights(out of focus, I know) and one of em together. Highest node is about a cm above the top of the bottom bin. I can raise my lights another 6 inches or so. If by that point they get too high I'll switch the two 6500k 42w lights to 26w 2700k. I've got one on each reflector.

Oh I had a little bit of water left oven and went to water my regular plants outside and I smelled my neighbor below me smoking some of that reefer(who actually calls it that anymore) lol. Smelt pretty bad though, like resin.

You euros and your spliffs lol. Never understood the whole liking tobacco with your weed thing. Never had cheese wreck before, just cheese.

Spliffs are the shit! You ever have weed so strong that you can't hold it in your lungs...just blow it right back out? Tobacco cuts it so it's more manageable. And it helps you save weed.

I'm guessing chesse wreck is cheese + trainwreck? Man can only imagine lol. One of these days I will try!

Nah for weed that's hard to hit, I use my ice bong. Idk, with all the dangers that come with using tobacco and the fact that I like to taste weed and just weed I'm not that much of a fan of spliffs. The weed saving part I can understand though(just use a pipe!). I'm not one for rolling anyway so that may have something to do with it as well.

I smoke outside a lot so a bong is not a good idea...like to smoke wherever I go lol. In europe you're always walking and on the move, nice to be able to sit on a bench in a park and pull out a spliff. From a distance it looks like a cigarette. As for pipes...yea they get you high with a little weed...but I've come realize that I gradually like getting high. Not a big harsh shot all at once. And if you roll it right, you only have to light it once or twice. Rolling isn't so hard. It's easier to roll king size papers and with a filter...can't roll with small american papers to save my life. Rather smoke a pipe than smoke those lol.
